I may not fully understand what drives the market and what to look for to stay ahead of the game, but I'm trying.. do you typically hold the property longer this time of the year?

It's pretty typical to get an income statement and rent roll before a walkthrough and before signing a contract (there's many times that you'll also get a capital improvements summary too), but it's not as typical to get the other items prior to contract execution.Depending on how small the property is, you might be able to push for more of these items on the front end if you're dealing with a "mom and pop" owner. 

Your skills will be a great asset, and I can’t wait to see what’s ahead for you!

I do think in A & B you can push those numbers on the high side. 

By the time you want to rest on your laurels, it would be good to have your loans not only paid off, but are also ahead of your future capex, meaning all major things already upgraded.
